Most I remember seeing were all wrapped with tin and the tin was only removed when the rear end reached the ground, mostly.... Seems to me the few I saw without the tin wrap had 5 or 6 leafs in the spring pack. That would match up with your 10 pieces, two pieces per leaf, they usually broke at the center bolt. Gene

To clarify there are 10 leaves. 36 Plymouth Coupe 318 w/360 heads 518 trans 8 3/4 rear Ga. Tech BCE'78

The tin cover was to hold the grease in, you were supposed to grease the leafs every so often, if it's wasn't 105 out I would get in the attic and dig out my FSM for the 38. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
